ENJOYING RETIREMENT AND HOBBIES WITH SAMSUNG
He uses his Samsung to share the fruits of his fishing catch and the durian tree – living a very simple and peaceful retirement. However, he probably had been gifted this phone via his children/ grandchildren and would be able to use any other phone which would be able to provide the functionalities for his basic needs.
